The TruStitch™ controller is

designed to track the motion of the

controller across the table, not the

motion of the fabric during quilting.

For proper stitch regulation, always

keep the controller moving with the

fabric as described below.

1. Place the controller on the table

surface, under the quilt sandwich,

either to the right or left side of

the machine head during operation

(Figure 12).

2. Position the controller in the area

where you would typically hold the

fabric when free-motion quilting.

3. Use your hands to hold the

quilting area taut beneath the needle

of the machine. As you move the quilt

sandwich, maintain contact with the

controller through the fabric with

the palm of the hand or directly with

ﬁngers of the hand.

4. Keep the fabric ﬂat between

your hands and move both hands

together while keeping them parallel

to your body. It is best to start your

experience with the Stitch Regulator

by using Idle style set to a low speed

percentage setting.

TIP: Think of moving the fabric in

the compass directions: North, South,

East, West. Remember that your

quilting will mimic the speed and

direction of the controller, but only if

you keep your hand motions parallel

to the needle and to the table edge

(Figure 13).

Do not move the controller in a

circle around the needle. If you do,

the needle will make multiple stitches

in one place, as it tries to keep up

with the movement of the controller

(Figure 14).
